Dipstick in other place.

[Fernando Mendes]

Hello guys.Today I noticed that my engine "IND 251" has its dipstick not in the block,but in the oil pan(same side).Who knows about this?

[Frank Elder]

You have an industrial engine that was meant to be used for a oilfield, factory, maybe as the powerplant for a generator. Since it was built someone put truck parts on it and made it a converted truck engine.

Your oil dipstick will still read correctly as it was meant to be that way. Give us the serial number stamped on the pad by the distributor and someone here will decipher the year and type.

I have noticed over the years several vehicles with that dipstick location. Don't know the whys or the whear fors, but I can confirm the existance.

Is the correct capacity 4 qts imperial=4,32 liters.(?)

IND251-69661C

My dipstick is broken,but still appear "4 qts imp".I noticed too when I drain the water by the radiator **** it is dangerous to fall water into the dipstick hole.Did you understand my english Frankie?

it gets really confusing now that all of the oil containers are 971 ml and not even one litre like they were a year ago.
